Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a delivering system for infusion-type beverages, in particular for preparing and administering both hot and cold beverages.
  • the prior art proposes an extremely wide variety of automatic or semi-automatic machines equipped with a preparing and delivering unit adapted to produce an infusion by making hot water pas through a capsule containing the essence to be infused, such as for example tea, coffee, tisanes, etc.
  • Such limiting characteristic prevents to be able to remotely arranging the boiler unit with respect to the delivering unit, that comprises the infusion point, this being for example preferable in case one wishes to have only the delivering unit available at hand, for example on a kitchen plane or on a bar counter, and the boiler unit in a more remote position and possibly not visible, making the existing machines relatively encumbrant .
  • the prior art instead has no machine that allows, through a single delivering system for infusion-type beverages, preparing and administering both hot and cold beverages .
  • object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems by providing a delivering system for infusion-type beverages that allows spatially separating and moving away at will or according to needs, the water heating unit and the infusion and delivering unit of the beverage without affecting the cooling of heated water during its path from the first to the second unit.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing a delivering system for infusion-type beverages that allows preparing and administering both hot and cold beverages .
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram that schematically shows the various components of a preferred embodiment of the delivering system according to the present invention for preparing hot beverages
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram that schematically shows the various components of a preferred embodiment of the delivering system according to the present invention for preparing both hot and cold beverages.
  • the delivering system 1 for infusion-type beverages comprises at least one water heating unit 3 and at least one beverage infusion and delivering unit 5, the heating unit 3 comprising at least one first water supply line 10, at least one circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water and at least one second supply line 30 for heated water (designated in the Figures as H 2 O 0 ) from the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water to the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5.
  • the heating unit 3 comprising at least one first water supply line 10, at least one circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water and at least one second supply line 30 for heated water (designated in the Figures as H 2 O 0 ) from the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water to the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5.
  • the first water supply line 10 comprises at least one first pump 13 that draws supply water (designated in the Figures as H 2 O) , for example through at least one first duct 12 from at least one water tank 11, in order to send it through at least one second and one third duct, respectively 14 and 16, to the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water, preferably by interposing at least one first flow-meter 15.
  • the first flow-meter 15 is obviously necessary for measuring the amount of water to be inserted in the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water and consequently controlling the operation of the first pump 13, such amount being preferably the one necessary for preparing at least one standard dose (cup or small cup) of hot infused beverage.
  • the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water then comprises at least one water heating means 21, such as for example at least one electric boiler, and at least one recirculating pump 22 that, for example through at least one fourth and one fifth duct, respectively 23 and 24, realise an annular circuit for heated water (designated in the Figures as H 2 O 0 ) from the water heating means 21.
  • the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water further comprises at least one first valve or solenoid valve 25 for controlling the delivery, preferably arranged downstream of the water heating means 21 and upstream of the recirculating pump 22, and normally open under rest conditions of the system 1 according to the present invention.
  • the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water then communicates with the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5 through the second supply line 30 along which at least one, suitably calibrated check valve 31 is arranged.
  • the check valve 31 is calibrated so that, under rest conditions of the system 1 according to the present invention, the pressure of heated water H 2 O 0 circulating inside the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water is not enough to win the resistance of the check valve 31 itself and therefore goes on, under the thrust of the recirculating pump 22, flowing through the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water, and being constantly and periodically heated by the boiler 21.
  • the first valve or solenoid valve 25 for controlling the delivery is closed: consequently, the pressure of heated water H 2 O 0 inside the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water, under the thrust action of the recirculating pump 22 and not being able to recirculate inside the circuit itself, progressively increases till it reaches such a pressure value as to win the resistance of the check valve 31, , and flows through the second supply line 30 till the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5: the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5 will then comprise at least one containing seat 51 of the essence to be infused, preferably contained inside a substantially known capsule, through which, with suitable and substantially known means 52, heated water H 2 O C coming from the second supply line 30 will be conveyed, in order to then go out, through a suitable delivering nozzle or mouth as hot beverage, such as for example coffee, tea, tisanes, etc.
  • a suitable delivering nozzle or mouth as hot beverage such as for example coffee, tea, tisanes, etc.
  • the system 1 therefore allows spatially separating and moving away, at will or according to need, the water heating unit 3 and the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5 without impairing the cooling of heated water during its path from the first to the second unit, since infusion water, and consequently also the ducts inside which it is constantly or periodically made flow, remain heated also during rest periods of the system 1 due to the circuit 20 for heating and recirculating hot water.
  • the delivering system 1 for infusion-type beverages can further comprise at least one water cooling unit 7 adapted to supply the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5 with cooled water H 2 Op for preparing cold infusion-type beverages, such as for example orange juices, fruit juices, etc.
  • the water cooling unit 7 comprising at least one second pump 71 that draws supply water H 2 O, for example by means of at least one sixth duct 72 from the water tank 11, or from a further different tank (not shown) , in order to send it, through at least one seventh duct 73 and at least one water cooling means 74, preferably made as at least one refrigerating unit; from the water cooling means 74, cooled water H 2 0 F is then conveyed through other suitable ducts, respectively 75, 16 and 77, to the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5, passing through at least one second flow-meter 78 and at least one second valve or solenoid valve 79 for controlling the delivery.
  • the second flow-meter 78 is obviously necessary for measuring the amount of cooled water H 2 O F to be inserted into the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5, and consequently controlling the operation of the second pump 71, such amount being preferably the necessary one for preparing at least one standard dose (cup or glass) of cold infused beverage.
  • the second valve or solenoid valve 79 for controlling the delivery is closed and the second pump 71 is stopped.
  • the second valve or solenoid valve 79 for controlling the delivery is opened and the second pump 71 is activated in order to supply, through suitable, substantially known means 53, the containing seat 51 of the essence to be infused of the beverage infusion and delivering unit 5 with cooled water H 2 O F , that afterwards goes out through the delivery nozzle or mouth as cold beverage.
